Dancing with the Stars last night (yes I watch it ) featured a contestant dancing in an "Arcade" with a pin being played. The pin looked like a Revenge from Mars cabinet type, and it appeared to have a populated/lit playfield, but the cabinet/backbox were reskinned to reflect one of the judges, "Len's Revenge".

Contestant was Simone Biles, the Olympic Gymnast, who coincidentally got voted off last night, despite being a great performer.

Enjoy!

For those who watch HGTV and Property Brothers, the brothers are working on their own house in Vegas. Just saw the episode where they were working on the game room along with other fun features. Put in a nice pool table, MAME type arcade machine, and an Avengers pin. They never mention the pin, but spend time on the arcade and pool table.

Quoted from pinwiztom:

But the vast majority of the audience has not seen, let alone played or heard a EM pinball machine
with bells and chimes in over 40 yrs,
so basically anyone under 50 would not be familiar with said vintage pinball sounds.

Ironically, probably they're aware of what a pinball machine sounds like, not based on playing actual pinball machines, but rather seeing pinball machines represented in movies/shows/cartoons. So despite not ever having played an EM, SS, DMD, whatever, they associate the bells and dings with that weird game they saw on an episode of Happy Days, Spongebob, etc.

So for them to associate with the sound, it has to be the generic bells/dings they've heard for years without even knowing it. And therefore we're stuck with the EM sounds for all eternity.
